Fresh examination of the prayers of Jesus in the Gospels
This book argues that the throne motif constitutes the major
interpretive key to the complex structure and theology of the book
of Revelation. In the first part of the book, Gallusz examines the
throne motif in the Old Testament, Jewish literature and
Graeco-Roman sources. He moves on to devote significant attention
to the throne of God texts of Revelation and particularly to the
analysis of the throne-room vision (chs. 4&5), which is
foundational for the development of the throne motif. Gallusz
reveals how Revelation utilizes the throne motif as the central
principle for conveying a theological message, since it appears as
the focus of the author from the outset to the climax of the drama.
The book concludes with an investigation into the rhetorical impact
of the motif and its contribution to the theology of Revelation.
Gallusz finally shows that the throne, what it actually represents,
is of critical significance both to Revelation's theism and to
God's dealing with the problem of evil in the course of human
history.
